“If the Resurrection of Christ is, as Pope Benedict said in his 2006 Easter Homily, the “explosion of love” that has dissolved the indissoluble network of “death and becoming,” then we may also say that this is the goal of evolution.”

– Christoph Cardinal Schönborn

Thanks, another interesting if not again controversial article from Cardinal Schonborn on evolution. I am looking forward to that book of his creation-evolution lectures. Too bad I don’t speak German or I’d read them now.

Thanks,

Well, according to some Hindus, God did in-carnate as a crocodile, once.

Well, some Hindus do see the crocodile as a symbol for God’s life-giving Energies.
